5 June 1945
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SUBS: One more lost and one more Allies sunk.
KOREA: All armies are reaching their preliminary destinations. It looks like some Allied forces are moving into Masan. That would be a good thing. I'll eventually move forward, but I also want to see if this provokes a big response from Jocke to bring the reinforcements in. The port at Moppo should be pretty damaged, so even an Allied night drop might not finish until later in the day phase or day two. That would give time to do something about it.
STRAT BOMBING: Osaka lost some more LI during the night and some aircraft factory points.
REPORT:
Fires causing damage to H8K2 Emily factory at Osaka/Kyoto!
Fires causing damage to Light Industry at Osaka/Kyoto!
Fires causing damage to Ki-45 KAId Nick factory at Osaka/Kyoto!
HOME ISLANDS: Supply is all over the place from base to base, and likely that is part of why strikes didn't fly. Still, there are planes in bases with supply that isn't go either, so that's not the whole story. I wish I knew the whole story, but I sadly don't. Must have had some weather issues, as some of the planes in easy reach are still sitting happily at 99 morale, 0 fatigue, with good supply.
More mine clearing. Sigh.
We'll see if tomorrow brings any bright spots. Jocke will have an interesting choice in where to send the Iowas. I've got 4 subs West of Moppo and a few MTBs and midget subs South of it, so either way something will be there. I might send in some smaller craft to try to slow them up if they come South, maybe cause them to stay in target range in case planes decide to fly.

here is one of the groups in range, 6 hexes from the BBs, that didn't fly. A few 800kg bombs might have added to the misery there nicely. This is a base in good supply, in range of several HQs, with escorts and the group is rested and with high morale. There are a few more like this scattered at smaller bases just for the reason that I could have supply shifts around the HI and I want to make sure something goes. Maybe it was weather over these other bases, or over the hex with BBs in the afternoon. The DL was certainly high, so it's all I can think of for why nothing else flew.

RE: Wild Sheep Chase - 
So you guys are thinking right along with me here. If the CVs move in range that will also mean I lose about 25-40 planes, considering I already lose about 10 per turn from the CAP.
